Back in Bavaria a colleague and good friend of mine promised me a fare-ye-well present. Now it arrived and it’s an awesome model of a victorian-style glasshouse! It’s made of some thin, minted metal … sort of sheets and you have to fold it and put it together yourself. Which cost me the better part […]
Good news everyone!
In a few days I’m starting a new job. It will be very time-consuming and demanding and I expect there to be less blogging for a while. So stay with me, even if it gets awfully quiet.

Shades of Green
I’m a bit particular when it comes to green colours. There are a lot of greens in my watercolour boxes – but they are all ugly. Well there is one shade of olive green … but the rest is ugly! So I went to my secret hoard where – apart from more ugly greens – […]

Meet …

A Song for Springtime
The Secred Language of Birds Do you have a song in your collection that reminds you of spring? Of birds, and flowers and life and hope? For me ‚The Secret Language of Birds‘ does the job. It’s from a solo album (with the same titel) of Ian Anderson the frontman of the famous Jethro Tull.
